A study on forced labor, human trafficking, and related practices in the Peruvian Amazon logging industry

The central objective of this research study is to understand the forms of forced labor and human trafficking for the purpose of labor exploitation, in the triple border area between Peru, Brazil and Colombia.

This investigation documents presence of forced labor in logging camps, which evidences debt bondage, threats and punishments in the workplace, among others, and shows the presence of an extensive -informal and precarious- recruitment system concentrated in river ports. Sustained in interviews with workers and ex-workers, the field work carried out in the triple border allows to understand the precariousness of a scenario crossed by illegal economies, a porous control system and a wide informal dynamic.
